Ultimate Droid and were live
I figured this would end up the way it. It all started with Blackdroid wanting to be off of Rom Manager. They blamed Koush and Rom Manager for all the problems they were having with UD. It start the fire that turned in a blaze. The fanboys of UD bashed koush and I was even told that Blackdroid was so good koush was stealing his rom and copying it. lol All this talk must have finally got the attention of koush and cyanogen who decided to set the record straight. Yea BD may be there to help but for me Koush has always willing to answer questions. Just go into the IRC if koush aint there himself there are plenty of others willing to help. Remember all blackdroid is doing to taking Koushs work and repackaging it. Yea adding some fancy colors but I can do that myself with a little time. Also if u haven't noticed those "custom scripts" are right from Bugless Beauty. Does this guy do anything for himself???
I wouldn't disregard the idea of rooting because of bad blood between a couple of devs, to be honest. If the idea of such things as WiFi tethering entice you; there are ways to root without running ANYONE'S custom ROM. Just root your stock ROM manually, and use a custom kernel.
Sometimes, the tools that a rooted phone provide can be invaluable, depending on your line of work.

You make it seem as though UD would only be available via ROM Manager and that is why people bought it and that is simply not the case. FYI, Koush and Cyanogen are both software engineers and I feel quite certain that they do okay regardless of if they have apps on the market or not. Now, I know that a little spare change (or thousands of dollars) never hurt anyone, but to say this is all over greed and money is just plain stupid.[/QUOTE]
1. That point that try to make about engineer$ Is mute. Because if you truly did it for te community ten you wouldn't put stuff in your sign.. about you like what I do feel free to donate and I dunno about you but $20,000 indownloads is hardly spare change.
Some people don't Make that in a year especially during our times now....
If it was truly as you say they woujldnt ask for donations... and co/mpletely righteous, nor woujld they charge for a premium RM....
And a lot of ppl did buy rm because they wanted an easier way to get ud....
If it wasn't about money... then pull ud from rm.... but he won t why.... because he making quite a bit of spare change keeping it there...
I'm not going to sit hear and call your opinion stupid.... thatgs not my style.... but if you take a sec to open your eyes, and realize that its possible....
Also the comment about you kn owin they are software engin eers..... well I'm the president of the united states..... do you belikeve that too....
I'm not saying they are not, but do you believe everything you read on the internet......
Money is a very destructive object....
They are responsible for:
Divorce,
Bankruptcy,
And so many other things.....
Let's be a lil open minded... ande realize the truth...
Again my olpinion !

In the past havent seen this happen between developer for android before. Others have used cyanogen code and haven't been an issue. They give credit and move you. The problem arose when supporters of UD thought their sht dont stink and starting posting on the cyanogenmod forums about koush. This just caused a snow ball affect. UD has some nice options but nothing that you can't do by yourself if u know what u are doing. If you going to use someones code give credit or atleast not call the dev out that u stole the code from. Come on when i heard a one of the irc mods tell em koush was stealing UDs rom and calling it his own come on.

Wow this sucks...I understand both sides just wish something could have worked out so no one had to leave....time to check out Cyanogen's (sp?) rom now.

Lol, both sides wanted it to work out so no one had to leave? That is why Cyanogen posted "the good guys won" on the front page of his site when BD got shut down. They came on here with the goal of getting him kicked off and they got what they wanted, it is too bad they had to do it through a massive flame war rather than privately taking it up with BD and the droidforum moderators.
